Research

Since 1823, many scientists have revealed the fact that inner intelligence and fingerprint patterns are related to each other. This concept is accepted by many researchers and has also been a part of many works of literature. Fingerprint patterns remain the same throughout life unless some form of disturbance is introduced that changes the inherent composition of the pattern. From then onwards, scientists have correlated dermatoglyphics, embryology, neural science and genetics with the theory of multiple intelligences. Using these, one's hidden talents and personality can be evaluated and classified accordingly.

Marcello Malpighi (1628 - 1694)

Marcello was an anatomist and microscopist who explained that the outlines on the tips of the fingers could be used for an overall study of the human skin. He is also considered as the first man who conducted a study of the tissues, histology. Marcello used the microscope for 40 years to explain the various types of plants and structures, and also figured out areas of research in pathology, human anatomy and embryology.

Francis Galton (1822-1911)

Francis Galton was the cousin of Sir Charles Darwin and had wide interests in anthropology, genetics, geology, biology and eugenics. He published 240 papers and 15 books. He conducted methodical research into the importance and stability of fingerprint patterns not only to exhibit their use as a means of personal identification but also to display the importance of fingerprints and to mention the inherent variations of fingerprints amongst diverse races. His proposed categorisation of fingerprints was simpler than that of Professor Purkinje, delineating only 3 main types of patterns based on the number of triradii found in each pattern. His two works, ""Finger Prints"" (1892) and ""Fingerprint Directories"" (1895), are considered as standard in the field of dermatoglyphics and stimulated the focus of diverse scientific investigators such as anthropologists, zoologists, geneticists and criminologists.

Sir Edward Henry (1850-1931)

Sir Edward Henry was the Inspector General of Police of the Bengal province in India and also solved the problem of fingerprint classification. He was influenced by Sir Galton’s book called Finger Prints and developed his own Henry Classification System that was accepted worldwide in a few years, and a commission was established in the year 1897 to compare Anthropometry to the Henry Classification System.

Harold Cummins (1894-1976)

Dr. Harold Cummins gained worldwide acknowledgement as the “Father of Dermatoglyphics” or the study of ridge patterns found on human hands. His lifetime studies and techniques are known as the Cummins methodology and are widely accepted as a significant tool in mapping out inherent and evolutionary relationships. Cummins methodology is widely used in the medical field for analysing a few types of cleft palate, even heart disease, mental retardation, and schizophrenia. Regarding other fields, dermatoglyphics is used to assist ethnologic and population studies and also to make positive identifications by the police. Thus dermatoglyphics became crucial and significant in various fields in trying to understand human behaviour and personality.

1823 John E. Purkinji: Professor of Anatomy at the University of Breslau published his theses researching of fingerprint patterns classification, consisting of nine print categories.

1892 Sir Francis Galton: A British Anthropologist cousin of Charles Danrvin, he published his first landmark publication “Finger Prints"", scientifically establishing the individuality and permanence of fingerprints. The book included the first practical classification system of fingerprint identification, responsible for basic nomenclature (arch, loop, whorl), opening up the door to anthropology.

1920 Elizabeth Wilson: Started analysing the status of grain scientifically in the University of Columbia by using statistic to check the difference between people with Schizophrenia, low intelligence and normal people.

1930 Society for the Study of Physiological Patterns: Started the study of the five types of fingerprints & their unique personality traits (SSPP physiology society).

1944 Dr. Julius Spier: Published The Hands of Children, analysis children's Psychological personality development using the Dermatoglyphics method.

1950 Dr. Penfield: Canadian brain surgeon professor pointed out that the close link and relationship between fingerprints and the brain.

1958 Noel Jaquin: Researched and found that each fingerprint corresponds to each type of personality.

1968 Sarah Holt: Whose own work ‘The Genetics of Dermal Ridges’ published in 1968, Summarizes her research in of Dermatoglyphics patterns of both the fingers and the palm in various peoples, both normal and congenitally afflicted.

1970s USSR & 1980's China: Carried out reaching work of human potential, intelligence and talents in Dermatoglyphics and human genome perspective.

1985 Dr. Chen Yi Mou Phd of Havard University Research Dermatoglyphics: Based on Multiple Intelligence theory of Dr. Howard Gardner. First apply Dermatoglyphics to educational fields and brain physiology.

1987-1993 Fitzherbert: The significant figure for the scholastic research for skin grains, Fitzherbert published over 300 theses on the relationship of Dermatoglyphics, Anthropology, Anatomy and Medical.

2000's Dr. Stamens, Chief of Pathology at St. Suke's hospital in New York: Claims to be able to diagnose schizophrenia and leulgaemia with up to 1 90% accuracy. In Germany, Dr. Alexander Rode Wald reports he can pinpoint many congenital abnormalities with 1 90% accuracy.

2004 IBMBS- International Behavioural & Medical Biometrics Society: Over 7000 reports and thesis published. Nowadays the U.S., Japan or China, Taiwan apply Dermatoglyphics to educational fields, expecting to improve teaching qualities and raising learning efficiency by knowing various learning styles.

2012 Decoding the Brain Training Academy: Combining cutting edge technology with the latest development and large-scaled database in educational science, DTBTA now made available to all, contributing its part to a new generation of geniuses in India.
